Topic: do you go to church (Read 4688 times)

I haven't been to church since I was old enough to stop being forced to go by my parents.

That certainly puts a succinct point on brain-washing young children.

"If a man, holding a belief which he was taught in childhood or persuaded of afterwards, keeps down and pushes away any doubts which arise about it in his mind, purposely avoids the reading of books and the company of men that call in question or discuss it, and regards as impious those questions which cannot easily be asked without disturbing it - the life of that man is one long sin against mankind."-- William Clifford

- my church has been invovled in embezelment and priest giving bad advice. Hard to go to church knowing this.

All "churches" do this, only it's usually concealed by calling it "donations/tithing" and "sermons".

"All religions, with their gods, demigods, prophets, messiahs and saints, are the product of the fancy and credulity of men who have not yet reached the full development and complete personality of their intellectual (reasoning) powers."-- Mikhail A. Bakunin

I did go today and it was really nice. I hit and miss more than I used to (was full-time and involved in different areas in the church) because of my severity of the asthma/allergy/bronchitis. I'm still having allergic issues to outside influences, even with the infusions, so I can only go out at certain times. I miss getting out more. Hopefully, soon I can be more normal... Have a nice Sunday, all!
